He's such a good story teller. One of the interviews in this episode was with a Viet Minh fighter. They asked him about winning and losing. He kind of scoffed and said (paraphrase), "There is no winning or losing. There is only destruction."

EDIT: I was reading the Sunday Post and the quote is included in an article on the series:

The Vietnam War is never truly over (and at times it will feel to a viewer like “The Vietnam War” is never over, either), but, as Bao Ninh, a writer who fought for the communist North Vietnamese army, thoughtfully observes in the film’s opening moments: “It has been 40 years . . . . In war, no one wins or loses. There is only destruction. Only those who have never fought like to argue about who won and who lost.”

I fully expect Burns to tell a balanced story. I'm really looking forward to it. Have been for months.
